Winner of Honey Label Contest Announced

In August 2013 the Honey Bee Research Program held a contest to design the logo for the new Aggie Honey™. We extended the invitation to the entire TAMU community and the response was very positive. We received a total of 21 entries, all very creative and beautiful. We wanted to thank those who participated by sharing their entries on our website (below, in alphabetical order). The winner of this year’s contest was Ms. Madison Suhr, an undergraduate student in the Visualizations Department. Congratulations to Madison, and thank you ALL who participated in this successful event!! Click to see the larger image.
